Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a male urine collection device, also known as a male external catheter or a self-sealing urisheath.
  • the invention relates to a device suitable for the collection of urine from a male, which device comprises a sheath suitable for being fitted about a flaccid penis and comprising a thin flexible member of elastic material which is open at one end and is joined at the other end with a drainage tube portion for connection with a collecting means, said sheath having an inner surface of which at least an annular portion is provided with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive and an outer surface and being rolled outwardly upon itself towards the drainage tube end with successively larger turns, to form a torus, and a separate thin flexible band interposed between successive turns of said rolled torus and having an adhesive rejecting surface facing the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • U.S. Pat. NO. 4,626,250 depicts, in FIG. 18, a sheath for a male external catheter in which an adhesive coating 50 is disposed along the inner surface of the sheath's cylindrical body for adhesively securing the sheath to the penile shaft of a user.
  • the sheath is supplied to the user in rolled form with the adhesive layer interposed between successive coils or turns and then, as the sheath is unrolled, the adhesive, which remains on the sheath's inner surface, is advanced into contact with the wearer.
  • any suitable release coating or interliner as well known in the tape industry and in other fields may be used for that purpose.
  • a silicone coating is provided on the sheath's outer surface to keep the adhesive 50 from adhering to that surface when the sheath is unrolled.
  • a common method for providing such a silicone coating during sheath manufacture is by a dipping step since other techniques, such as spraying, provide less control and create other problems in the workplace. Such problems are not entirely avoided even when a dipping process is used, since silicone tends to migrate even under carefully controlled working conditions, causing complications with equipment and silicone exposure to other surfaces not intended to be treated. Furthermore, the silicone baths into which catheter sheaths may be dipped tend to be very sensitive to ambient conditions. For example, under conditions of relatively high humidity, the useful life of such a bath may be greatly reduced, resulting in substantial material waste and increased manufacturing costs. Sheaths treated with silicone that has been adversely affected by humidity may be rendered unusable because the release coatings may not cure properly if at all. Furthermore, even after application and curing, silicone release coatings applied by dipping may prove troublesome, resulting in discoloration, blushing, flaking, cracking, and loss of release properties.
  • Application PCT/DK85/00068 further discloses a procedure which eliminates the need for a silicone dipping step and thereby avoids many of the problems inherent in such a procedure.
  • the purported improvement is itself relatively complex, involving the application of an adhesive strip to one surface of the sheath and a silicone-bearing strip to the sheath's opposite surface.
  • Means must be provided for inflating and deflating the sheath during processing in order to bring the strips into contact with the sheath's opposite surfaces at precise locations which will permit the adhesive and release coatings to register properly when the sheath is rolled in the final stage of manufacture.
  • a further disadvantage in connection with silicone dipping is that if the solvent for the silicone is not evaporated totally during the production, residues may be transferred to the bearer during the use.
  • the described production method inter alia differs from the transfer method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,475,910 and its Reissue patent No. 33.206 in that the adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the sheath and remains there at all times, while according to the method disclosed in the U.S. Pat. Nos. it is applied to the outer surface and transferred to the inner surface due to the unrolling.
  • latex rubber contains various amounts of sulphur and nitrogen containing impurities, and also that latex rubber has a variating composition depending on its origin.
  • Applicant developed a method where prior to the application of the silicone layer to the latex sheath a barrier layer was applied to the sheath, which was essentially impermeable to sulphur, sulphur compounds, nitrogen and nitrogen compounds released from the underlying latex sheath.
  • the preferred barrier layer was a polyurethane layer which was applied in liquid state based on a 1- or 2-component polyurethane material in an organic solvent.
  • siliconized latex sheaths suffer from ageing problems and insufficient storage stability which manifest themselves as difficulties during unrolling. This may partly be due to impurities in the latex which may vary from one latex batch to another, and which alter the cured silicone and destroys its release properties vis a vis the adhesive during storage. Another frequent observation is that also in areas where there is no adhesive between the rolls, the latex somehow interferes with the silicone layer so that it adheres to the latex whereby the sheath can only be unrolled with great difficulty.
  • this problem can partly be taken care of during quality control by submitting samples of the rolled sheaths from each production to accelerated ageing test and reject those batches showing insufficient unrolling rather than releasing them to the customer.
  • the rejection percentage varies over the year inter alia with the air humidity, temperature etc, but may be from about 5% up to about 30%, which is unacceptable from an economic point of view.
  • the backing material may be provided with a release coating, e.g. a urethane copolymer, a silicone varnish or a methacrylate copolymer or else a release coated protector or interliner e.g. a silicone release coated paper or film may be applied over the adhesive surface.
  • a release coating e.g. a urethane copolymer, a silicone varnish or a methacrylate copolymer or else a release coated protector or interliner e.g. a silicone release coated paper or film may be applied over the adhesive surface.
  • US Pat. No. 4,846,909 describes a particular method of applying adhesive to the inside of a male external catheter. It is said that the inventive device will be packaged and sold in rolled condition which would create certain difficulties were it not for the presence of a non-stick layer.
  • the sheath has provided along a portion of its length a coating of a non-stick non-adhesive substance which facilitates unrolling of the device along the penis.
  • the layer is said to be e.g. a silicone rubber or other suitable elastomer or a teflon coating.
  • the patent is silent as to how the layer is placed on the sheath, except that a pattern of release material is disposed on an external surface of the sheath before it is unrolled onto a mandrel provided with an adhesive pattern, and in a position such that upon unrolling of the sheath, the adhesive will communicate with the release material.
  • outwardly directed extension can serve as a gripping means.
  • the invention relates to a device suitable for the collection of urine from a male, which device comprises a sheath suitable for being fitted about a flaccid penis and comprising a thin flexible member of elastic material which is open at one end and is joined at the other end with a drainage tube portion for connection with a collecting means, said sheath having an inner surface provided with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive and an outer surface and being rolled outwardly upon itself towards the drainage tube end with successively larger turns, to form a torus, and a separate thin flexible band interposed between successive turns of said rolled torus and having an adhesive rejecting surface facing the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive, and the device is characterized in that a portion of the band extends outwardly from the turns of said rolled torus so as to provide a free edge and that the band is in substantially non-adhering contact with the outer surface of the sheath, so that upon said sheath being unrolled onto a penis the band is removed from the sheath.
  • the outwardly extending portion of the band may have various forms as long as a sufficient area is provided to ensure that the band can be gripped and held firmly during the unrolling of the sheath onto the penis. It is crucial to a proper application of the device that the pressure sensitive adhesive is released from the band during the unrolling, or in other words that the band is not also unrolled, since this would prevent the sheath from adhering to the penis.
  • the outwardly extending portion has the form of a skirt.
  • the length of the skirt may vary depending on the form of the sheath at the drainage end, often referred to as the neck portion.
  • the neck portion often referred to as the neck portion.
  • constrictions may be formed on the neck portion to accomodate the rolled turns, e.g. as described in EP-390.720 Al (incorporated by reference). It is also known to provide accordion-like pleats at the end to obtain an anti-kink junction.
  • the present invention is useful in connection with all these various modifications known per se, as long as the length of the skirt's outwardly extending portion is sufficient to ensure a good grip during unrolling.
  • the band may be provided with one or more earlike portions at the free end so as to highlight the proper gripping area to the user, but in most cases a skirt like portion is preferred since it reduces the risk of a faulty grip.
  • the band extends beyond the drainage tube end where it may be sealed to facilitate the grip and totally avoid the risk that the part of the free edge of the band is caught by the turns during unrolling.
  • the band may be further extended backwards towards the open end beyond the torus, where it is closed by means of an easily openable closure, e.g. a peel welding.
  • Urine collection devices of the self-sealing type are frequently marketed with the rolled up sheath mounted on an applicator so as to facilitate the proper positioning on such a device onto the penis.
  • the present invention is particularly useful in connection with devices comprising an applicator since the applicator might assist in providing a good grip on the extending portion of the flexible band during the unrolling.
  • the band may be attached to the inside or the outside of the applicator e.g. by means of an adhesive.
  • the rolloff strip may be made from a non-elastic plastics material, e.g. a polyethylene, which may advantageously also be provided with a release layer, e.g. of silicone.
  • a non-elastic plastics material e.g. a polyethylene
  • a release layer e.g. of silicone.
  • This effect can be further amplified if the strip is attached to the band, particularly on a small extension of the band in the unrolling direction.
  • the band extends beyond the end of the applicator on which the sheath is mounted and is sealed to form an easily openable closure, e.g. by means of peel welding.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of a sheath forming part of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the sheath in its rolled-up supply condition
  • FIG. 3 is a detail of FIG. 2 on a larger scale
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of an applicator used in an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the device in its supply condition
  • FIG. 6 shows a preferred embodiment provided with a strip to facilitate unrolling
  • FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of the band used in the device
  • FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention incorporating a band according to FIG. 7 and an unrolling strip.
  • FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view of the sheath in its rolled-up supplied condition with the band positioned to form an integrated packaging arrangement for the device.
  • the sheath comprises a substantially cylindrical body portion 1 having a diameter corresponding to a normal flaccid penis.
  • the body portion 1 is manufactured as a soft, thin-walled single-layer component of an elastic material, e.g. latex or a synthetic rubber.
  • the body portion 1 merges into a narrowed drainage tube portion 4 for connecting the catheter with a urine collecting bag not shown through a tube that is likewise not shown.
  • a urine collecting bag may in a manner known per se be adapted to be mounted for instance on one leg of the user.
  • the body portion is provided on its inner surface with an adhesive layer 3 of a skin-friendly pressure sensitive adhesive, preferably by means of a mandrel not shown.
  • an adhesive rejecting band 2 is provided which extends 2a beyond the narrowed portion, so that upon rolling the sheath outwardly upon itself to form a torus the band will extend outwardly from the torus to provide a free edge.
  • the band can be made from commercially available release foils, comprising a thermoplastic elastomeric base layer provided with a release coating, but is preferably a polyurethane foil covered with a silicone release layer. If desired, the foil may be dyed, and/or provided with printings of various kinds. The band may be placed around the sheath, while it is still on the mandrel without the use of adhesive, since it was found that sufficient static electricity was generated to keep the band in place during the rolling off operation.
  • the device can be delivered in a rolled-up supply condition, thereby facilitating the arrangement.
  • the release surface of the band 2 faces the adhesive layer 3 so as to prevent successive turns of the torus 5 in the area of the adhesive layer from sticking to each other.
  • the adhesive layer may have any desired extension in the longitudinal direction of the sheath, but is preferably 3-4 cm.
  • more than one zone of adhesive layer may be applied provided that the band has a sufficient length to face all the zones, in the rolled-up condition.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows an embodiment of an applicator 6 of the type discussed in detail in application WO 87/01582, which preferably has a sufficient length of the open annular portion 6a to surround the glans throughout its length and a grip portion 6b.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows a presently preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, where the sheath has been unrolled onto the annular portion 6a of an applicator 6 retaining the rolled-up portion in the supply condition.
  • the band 2 extends outwardly from the torus 5 to form a skirt-like portion 2a located on the outside of the applicator, to which it may be attached, if desired.
  • FIG. 6 A still preferred embodiment is shown in FIG. 6, where a strip 7 of an unelastic material, e.g. a release coated polyethylene is interposed between the rolls of the torus on top of the band 2 to facilitate unrolling.
  • an unelastic material e.g. a release coated polyethylene
  • FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a band before being applied to the sheath.
  • the band is generally rectangular, but can be provided with ear-like portions 8 on the lower edge to facilitate gripping.
  • FIG. 8 a device incorporating the band according to FIG. 7 is shown. In the figure only the ear-like portions 8 extend outwardly from the torus to form a free gripping edge.
  • a portion of the upper edge on which the ear-like portions are provided extend outwardly to reduce the risk of an unrolling of the band which would interfere with the adhesion to the penis.
  • FIG. 9 shows the device in the same rolled-up condition as shown in FIG. 2 in which the skirt-like portion 2a is sealed at the end of the drainage tube portion 4 and folded back so that it extends beyond the torus and is peel welded so as to form an integrated packing arrangement for the device.
  • the open end of the annular portion 6a of the applicator 6 with the rolled-up sheath is placed around the glans and a slight external pressure is applied on the skirt-like portion 2a and the annular portion 6a, so that the skirt-like portion 2a is held firmly against the applicator to prevent the band 2 from unrolling with the sheath.
  • the sheath is then unrolled onto the penis by means of the strip 7.
  • the band 2 also serves as a positioning aid for the applicator and provides an improved stability during unrolling, since it connects the applicator with the sheath.
  • the sheath is unrolled to such an extent that both the band 2 and the release strip 7 is completely unrolled, the band is removed from the sheath by pulling the applicator away from the penis. If necessary, the unrolling is continued.
